Illness
New YORK, Jan. Jos. Mauri, a
Brooklyn druggist, and his entire fam
lily, were taken seriously i'll a day or
| two ago. and his three children died.
There was much mystery about the
| cause of their illness, and the doctors
proceeded on the theory that they had
been poisoned by something they had
eaten. To settle this question conclu-
sively, however, a postmortem exami-
| nation of the bodies OF the dead chill
dren was held to-day, and it was made
evident, SO the doctors agree, that
their deaths were caused by hemor-
rhage of smallpox. The other men,
bers OF the family will probably die.
